|---|---|
| 89V139000 | 1989-08-15. VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE. HEATER HOSE MAY BE INCORRECTLY ROUTED. Built 1984-08-01 to 1987-07-01. |
| 89V062000 | 1989-04-17. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING. NYLON TIES THAT SUPPORT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS TO THE CHASSIS COULD WEAR AND BREAK DUE TO EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. THUS, WIRING HARNESS COULD FALL ON ENGINE COMPONENTS AND SHORT CIRCUIT. Built 1983-01-01 to 1989-02-01. |
| 88V133000 | 1988-08-09. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS. EXTREME OPERATING CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEATER HOSES OR ENGINE BYPASS HOSES. Built 1977-01-01 to 1987-07-01. |
| 87V144000 | 1987-09-09. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL. VEHICLES ARE SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE UNDERHOOD TEMPERATURES AND FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURES IN SEVERE DUTY APPLICATIONS. Built 1983-08-01 to 1987-08-01. |
| 87V113000 | 1987-07-21. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL. EXPULSION OF FUEL DUE TO OVERPRESSURIZATION. Built 1983-08-01 to 1987-08-01. |
| 87V111000 | 1987-07-16. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING. FUEL LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE FRONT FUEL TANK IN THE AREA OF THE VAPOR VALVE GROMMET. GROMMET MAY SPLIT DUE TO COMPRESSIVE LOAD WHEN INSTALLED IN THE FUEL TANK. Built 1983-08-01 to 1987-08-01. |
| 86V094000 | 1986-07-15. STEERING:LINKAGES:DRAG:LINK:CONNECTION. THE RUBBER THAT ENCASES BALL STUD AND SOCKET JOINT (CONNECTS STEERING DRAG LINK AND PITMAN ARM) MAY DETERIORATE, CAUSING METAL TO METAL CONTACT, AND MAY EVENTUALLY RESULT IN COMPLETE SEPARATION. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE DRAG LINK TO PITMAN ARM CONNECTION RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. Built 1985-03-01 to 1986-03-01. |
| 86V092000 | 1986-07-14. POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT. COMPOSITE GRAPHITE DRIVESHAFTS ARE SUBJECT TO OVERHEATING WHILE IDLING, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE DRIVESHAFT TWISTING AND SHORTENING CAUSING THE SLIP YOKE TO DISCONNECT FROM THE TRANSMISSION. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF THE DRIVESHAFT DISCONNECTS FROM THE TRANSMISSION THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME IMMOBILE WITHOUT WARNING. Built 1983-07-01 to 1985-11-01. |
| 85V061000 | 1985-05-14. FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL. WHEN FRONTALLY IMPACTED INTO A FIXED BARRIER AT 30 MPH, AS SPECIFIED IN FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 301, THE LEFT FRAME RAILS OF SUCH VEHICLES MAY DISPLACE INBOARD, PINCHING THE FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR CANISTER BETWEEN THE FRAME RAIL AND ENGINE SUFFICIENTLY TO DISPLACE THE FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR DRAIN ROD, ALLOWING THE CONTENTS OF THE CANISTER TO DRAIN. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: FUEL LEAK DURING OR AFTER A CRASH INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE. Built 1983-03-01 to 1985-04-01. |
| 1991125 | 1991-09-11. Structure. THE AIR DEFLECTOR MAY BE INADEQUATELY BONDED TO THE TRUCK BODY AND MAY SEPARATE AT HIGH SPEED. A DETACHED DEFLECTOR COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO OTHER VEHICLES. CORRECTION: AIR DEFLECTORS WILL BE INSPECTED FOR SIGNS OF SEPARATION. IF SIGNS OF SEPARATION ARE FOUND, THE DEFLECTOR WILL BE REFASTENED USING RIVETS. |
|---|---|
| 1988140 | 1988-10-06. Heater And Defroster. EXTREME OPERATING CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEATER HOSES OR ENGINE BYPASS HOSES. ENGINE COOLANT COULD DISCHARGE ONTO THE ENGINE AND ITS EXHAUST MANIFOLD CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE DUE TO HIGH ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TEMPERATURES. CORRECTION: HOSES AND RADIATOR CAPS WILL BE REPLACED AND ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, A HIGH HEAT RESISTANCE ALUMINIZED STAINLESS STEEL MUFFLER WILL BE INSTALLED. |
| 1987105 | 1987-10-07. Structure. 1983-87 E-250 AND 350 WITH 7.5 LITRE AND 1985-87 HEAVY DUTY E-250 AND 350 WITH 5.8 LITRE 4V ENGINE AND A GVW OVER 8,500 LBS. THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO GENERATE EXCESSIVE UNDERBODY TEMPERATURES AND FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURES IN SEVERE DUTY APPLICATIONS, PARTICULARLY IF FUELED WITH OVERLY VOLATILE GASOLINE. THIS CAN CREATE AN ABNORMAL POTENTIAL FOR EXPULSION OF LIQUID FUEL FROM THE FILLER PIPE UPON REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER CAP. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A VEHICLE FIRE COULD OCCUR. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE MODIFIED TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF FUEL EXPULSION AND SHIELD UNDERBODY COMPONENTS FROM EXCESSIVE UNDERBODY HEAT. NOTE: E250 AND 350 CLUB WAGONS AND ECONOLINE VANS AND CHASSIS. |
| 1987094 | 1987-08-25. Fuel System. ON AMBULANCES EQUIPPED WITH 7.5 LITRE ENGINES,VARIOUS FACTORS MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE UNDERBODY TEMPERATURES OR FUEL SYSTEM OVERPRESSURIZATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN FUEL LEAKS OR EXPULSION OF FUEL FROM THE FILLER PIPES WHEN THE FILLER CAPS ARE REMOVED. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE A VEHICLE FIRE OR INJURIES COULD RESULT. CORRECTION: THE FUEL VENTING AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS WILL BE MODIFIED AND VEHICLES INSPECTED FOR SIGNIFICANT DISCREPANCIES. |
| 1986079 | 1986-07-18. Steering. UNDER CERTAIN LOW SPEED TIGHT TURNING CONDITIONS UNDER HIGH LOAD, THE RUBBER WITHIN THE RUBBER ENCASED BALL STUD AND SOCKET JOINT CONNECTING THE STEERING DRAG LINK AND PITMAN ARM MAY DETERIORATE CAUSING GALLING OF THE BALL STUD AND SOCKET.THIS COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO SEPERATION OF THE DRAG LINK AND PITMAN ARM AND LOSS OF STEERING. CORRECTION:DRAG LINK ASSEMBLIES WITH STEEL BALL AND SOCKET JOINTS WILL BE INSTALLED. |
| 1986078 | 1986-07-17. Structure. E350 RV AND COMMERCIAL CUTAWAY ECONOLINE VEHICLES. SOME VEHICLES WHERE COMPLETED WITH BODIES WHICH RESTRICTED THE DISSAPATION OF UNDERBODY HEAT.IN SUCH A CASE EXTENDED IDLING COULD OVERHEAT THE COMPOSITE GRAPHITE DRIVESHAFT AND,IF A HIGH START UP TORQUE APPLIED,TWIST AND SHORTEN THE DRIVESHAFT CAUSING THE SLIP YOKE TO DISCONNECT. CORRECTION:METAL DRIVESHAFTS WILL BE INSTALLED. |
| 1985062 | 1985-05-17. THESE VEHICLES (VANS AND CLUB WAGONS) DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 301-FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
